What are the ways to stream a game and play it over the internet with friends? Only method I know of is by using Valve’s Remote Play, are there any other alternatives?

      Sunshine is amazing so long as the streaming PC supports hvec(h265) encoding and the client likewise decoding. Sub 1ms lag is easily achievable. H264 works at a pinch on older clients but has lag. Hoping for AV1 support in the not too distant future. Note that you’ll need to keep a low bitrate (30-40mbit) with the moonlight client if you have amdgpu/vaapi encoding on the server due to a bug which causes incorrect frame stuffing well above the set bandwidth

      Parsec also doesn’t support hosting on Linux, so moonlight is really the only option you need that
